Mustafa Khattab – Gold for Men

In the past

3 or 4 Sundays, we spoke about some

of the practices that some brothers and sisters

do in the masjid.

And our intention is not to offend,

someone or make someone look bad. But our

intention is to educate ourselves

because sometimes we do some things without the

knowledge. Unless we know that they are haram

or it's a slight, we we just avoid

doing them.

We spoke about

some people coming to the masjid with, shi'id

e file on their shirts,

and we said that this guy is captured,

so shouldn't be proud of him. You know,

this guy is a communist. He didn't believe

in God in any way. Why would you

honor them?

We also spoke about some people who come

with statements

ripping on their clothes and sometimes these statements

are vulgar and they are indecent or unacceptable

Islamically.

We also spoke about some people who come

with short clothing to the masjid.

So, when they pray, you can see the

or,

you know,

you know, they don't cover themselves properly probably.

So when they make a course, they do

what you can see or know. So and

it is not a problem.

Today, inshallah, we'll talk about some people

who wear,

bracelets and chains and,

and

the other things,

especially jewelry,

especially gold.

Yeah. And for silver, we know that, Islamically,

it's acceptable for a man to wear some

silver like

a ring or something,

But you don't have to cover yourself in

in in silver.

You see?

And some people when they do it, Yani,

the problem with it, Islamically, is imitating

the kafar. Because

The problem with me is sometimes I've seen

several people in the Masjid and I'm not

pointing fingers at anyone

or trying to offend anyone.

They sometimes

have golden bracelets

and,

you know, different things, rings and and all

that stuff.

And every time I speak to someone, and

of course, I speak to them in a

nice way, because I'm a nice guy,

they always come up with excuses.

And this is something we humans are good

at. We always come with come up with

excellent excuses.

Like, one time I was talking to this

guy

about the golden bracelet

and he said, you know,

listen, Shay.

This is the gift from my mom, this

chain or this bracelet.

And it has a verse from the

It's not even a hadith. But anyway,

yes. Safay will say, another one, another brother.

I mentioned to him,

you know, why are you wearing this gold?

We I used to work for an Islamic

channel in Egypt, and this brother,

was covered with

gold from head to toe.

If

if you kidnap this guy and ask for

a $1,000,000 hassle,

you will live rich your whole life. You

don't have to wear a private thing.

And he said,

listen, Sheikh. And I showed him like,

that wearing gold is haram for men. And

he looked at the list. Yes. Yes.

I have read this before. Thanks.

Then he said,

well, like, listen to me. Every time I'm

not wearing gold,

I can't breathe. Like, something is missing in

my life, man.

I said this is the ugliest

excuse I've heard in my life.

Is is there oxygen or something in the

gold? I don't know.

They argue even when when they are wrong.

They argue

for their own reasons.

So the prophet, salaam,

came to the Sahabi and he was angry

and he said, some of you,

they bring a piece of fire

and they put it in their fingers.

And he took the the golden ring from

the Sahabi and he threw it on the

floor. Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

left. But after he left, the other companions

and this is an Ufandid Khadir, a Muslim,

the other companions came to his companion and

they said, why don't you take this

grain and sell it and use its money

to provide your family with salafat? So he

said, by Allah, I will never touch something

that the Quran threw

on the floor. Tell us that's haraf, I

will never touch it.

So we have to learn from these things

and inshallah we'll continue this time.
